This year's Dragon Boat Festival Weekend is spent down south, Kaohsiung.... all the years I have lived in Taiwan, it is my first time to do so.... and except for the Sun being way too hot during the Summer Months - Kaohsiung was a great choice for the festivities....

It was a last minute thing - since Jewel and her parents were driving down to Nantou, we decided to hitch a ride to Taichung (2 Hrs down) and take the speed train from there.... about 50 mins.... cutting the travel time at least by half, if we would have taken the bus we normally take....

It was well worth it - would have been better if the SUN was not too hot... but am not complaining.... Kaohsiung is TRULY a pretty city and just keeps getting prettier.... always too many things going on to see and enjoy...

Posting a few pics for now... will catch up with the writing soon.... actually started this on the 4th but had no WIFI on my laptop - and for some reason, via iPhone, I could not write or UPLOAD... hence, reason why am just now posting this....Taking in the NOSTAGIC Exhibition @ Dream Mall, my FAVE Mall!!!

Dragon Boat Races @ Love River and of course, no visit down south is complete without a BREAKFAST outing @ IKEA....
